Teaser Tuesday #13 - Madeleine L'Engle

L'Engle's A Wrinkle in time was first published in 1962, and is a classic science fantasy novel, featuring a coming of age story. My teaser follows:

Calvin walked with Meg, his fingers barely touching her arm in a protective gesture.

"This has been the most impossible, the most confusing afternoon of my life", she thought, "yet I don't feel confused or upset anymore; I only feel happy. Why?"

Mini Review - I must say that I am disappointed in not picking this up when I was reading C.S. Lewis etc. What a great story for a young reader! Adventure, Family, Self-discovery et al in one little book. I couldn't stop reading about Meg and Calvin, which is why I am now beginning the third book in the Time Quartet series. Can't Stop Now!

I love A Wrinkle in Time! I hadn't even realized that it was a banned book. This banned books week has been so eye-opening for me. This book is special to me because I read this series so much when I was young. I loved talking about it with my friends to the point that they were sick of hearing about it. I still love talking about books with my friends. :D I'm glad some things don't change.

Check out by book reviews listed under Julie on 5-squared. I'd love to hear from you there!
